The Range is open for business! The first week of summer training was filled with great workouts, excitement for the summer and a tough mountain run in beautiful conditions.
For starters, I’ll share a few photos and point everyone in the direction of the MNC Flickr account, where you will find many more! Our new iPad is synced with this account, so as I snap photos at practice you will see them uploaded straight to this profile and, specifically, the Summer Training 2015 album: SUMMER TRAINING 2015 PHOTOS

A bunch of crazy athletes decided to run up a mountain as fast as they could…
Sessions at the Range have been fun and productive. Agility, drills, distance, twists, turns and more. They are doing some construction right now so we’ve been unable to access the “Pit” loop, but it looks like the renovations will be worth it! We’re talking new drainage, better facilities and a Canmore-style tunnel from the building to the shooting range in anticipation of bidding for some international-caliber events!
In addition to this great spot in Jericho, the group also got in strength training at Dee PT in South Burlington, a run from Dorset Park and some rollerskiing at the ever-popular Meadowridge/Mud Pond area.
Our scores from the Canadian Strength Test show that we have some work to do in that department, but the times from the Bolton run on Saturday were very encouraging! Beautiful weather didn’t hurt…check out the results here, sorted by both date and time (use tabs at the top to select): BOLTON HILLCLIMB HISTORICAL RECORD
The next Open Session will be a run with poles and some bounding at Shelburne Farms on July 8. Free to anyone interested in a great workout – MORE INFO
We have a great group together this summer that is still growing…want to become a part of it? Check out the webpage for all the info and more!
